Welcome to the Community About Nothing, and Yet Everything.
Politics and attitudes in general have diverged to the distance which can be described as far as the East is from the West. The Big Bang of societal devolution known as the birth of social media is destined to have a Big Crunch when the tensile strength of the middle can no longer withstand the outward force. There are individuals at or near the top of political groups, corporations, religions and other enterprises who fancy themselves the saviors of humanity. Each has a strongly held set of beliefs that ring true among their echo chamber mates.
Eventually, this Big Crunch will come, and one of these "leaders" will find himself at the top of the food chain, holding court with his oligarchs and wielding supreme power (even if not granted by some watery tart).
If we, as a society, do not rediscover our humanity, our common interest, our rational discourse, our just plain decency, then frankly we are doomed to enslavement.
Or you can just vote for me to be Fearless Leader, and life will be all sunshine and rainbows.

Why do I like this one? I have a primary residence on the Mountain of Right.
Of you who read my previous post, how many of you caught the quote I stole from a movie? Can you name the movie and who said it?
Bet you didn’t know there would be a test…..
So, I have completed 4 of 6 chemo infusions, and I have to say that the last one seems to have caused almost no side effects that cannot be otherwise explained by the disease itself. I remain exhausted all the time, and I go home at the end of the workday positively depleted. That, however, seems to be due to the anemia that somewhat existed before chemo started but certainly seems to have been exacerbated by it.
I presently sit at a 40% disability rating with the Veterans Administration with some big stuff pending. I am awaiting a decision on my hearing loss and the PTSD/Depression. The cancer aspect takes a step forward with an exam by a VA contracted provider who will provide a recommendation as to the service connection to the cancer. If it goes my way and I get to 100%, then as soon as the first check hits the bank, I’m retired. While this exam is scheduled for Monday, I have no assurance that a VA determination will be quickly forthcoming. Patience is the key.
My spirits ...
